Zero $ A Day: Prelude

Since I learned I could transfer all of my bundle houses to other wizards on my account by putting them in the shared bank(but you can only do this one per three months), I decided to delete my first Necromancer on Katie's account(Katie is on her own blog so I'll discuss her adventures there) and work on a full-game walkthrough for a new character, so this blog is mainly tips and tricks for Wizard101. This part is inspired by Skelemystk and his video about how you can buy every area in the game for free Crowns, so I decided to try it, at least up to Dragonspyre.


So here is my new Necromancer on Christina's account. As you can see by the big Upgrade button in the upper-left corner, it has no membership so we're stuck in Free-to-Play.

I plan on having a post for each area I buy. For the record, here is a table of all of the areas in Wizard City and how much in Crownage they cost along with a full total at the end:
  • Wizard City: 750 Crowns each with 5 areas = 3750 Crowns
  • Krokotopia: 915 Crowns each with 13 areas =11,895 Crowns
  • Wysteria: 1000 Crowns each with 3 areas = 3000 Crowns
  • Marleybone: 1200 Crowns each with 10 areas = 12,000 Crowns
  • Mooshu: 1200 Crowns each with 9 areas =10,800 Crowns
  • Dragonspyre: 1200 Crowns each with 9 areas = 10,800 Crowns
  • Celestia: 1695 Crowns each with 6 areas = 10,170 Crowns
  • Zafaria: 1695 Crowns each with 6 areas = 10,170 Crowns
  • Avalon: 1695 Crowns each with 6 areas = 10,170 Crowns
  • Grizzleheim/Wintertusk: 1995 Crowns each with 9 areas = 17,955 Crowns
  • Azteca: 1995 Crowns each with 6 areas = 11,970 Crowns
  • Khrysalis: 1995 Crowns each with 6 areas = 11,970 Crowns
  • Polaris: 1995 Crowns each with 5 areas = 9975 Crowns
  • Mirage: 1995 Crowns each with 6 areas = 11,970 Crowns
  • Empryea: 1995 Crowns each with 3 areas = 5985 Crowns (will increase with Part 2)
  • Total Amount: 152,580 Crowns
The totals are off because while there are a number of areas in each world, you can buy multiple areas in some cases with only one payment. For example, you can buy the Oasis, Altar of Kings and Royal Hall for the same 915 Crowns. So it's cheaper in some parts.

I am not including the sub-space worlds in this total but here is a little breakdown of the smaller areas you will find:
  • Aquila: The Garden of Hesperides is free but the three Dungeons cost a total of 9735 Crowns. You can rent a dungeon for six hours for 645 Crowns, however.
  • Four Dungeons: Buy for a total of 8980 Crowns or rent one of these areas for six hours for 495 Crowns.
I will probably be renting the above and doing runs of them for six hours marathons since they involve very dangerous gimmick bosses.
